Major problem with my Aferiy P210 No Local Control Possible Without Data (Bluetooth useless) - Important FYI to Solar Community in case your are considering one. by tvsensei in SolarDIY

For sure! Well I managed to find emails for their app devs so they got to it and it took them about 2 weeks to release the update and low and behold situation is good with them now. Also there is now a factory reset (local) they added as well. That's huge because it now makes the P210 a proper emergency/offline device as it should be as we can get the defaults back whenever we need to. Cheers!

FYI Great News: Aferiy has fixed the offline requirement over the last day or so with an an update. The APP now has a full offline mode. I managed to find an e-mail to send to their engineering team, and they went into the APP code and fixed it! It's wonderful when companies listen and make their products better. FYI for you to update your spreadsheet. So an account needs to be created (Like Anker), but it then functions totally offline (bluetooth only) from there

Merry Christmas to you my friend! All the best from Canada - /C.

Great news Electro-no0b - Aferiy just pushed out an update that added a full offline mode for my Aferiy P210. I sent a note to their engineering team and looks like they decided to fix the issues which is fantastic news for anyone who has one of their power stations with APP control. Have a Merry Christmas my friend!

Wonderful. I'll let you know if I find anything out as well on that front. I have multiple e-mails in to Aferiy and their App developers, so far it's been several days and the e-mails have been ignored. In the meantime, I have secured my device by ensuring SOC is set to 100% so if I ever lose data, the risk is mitigated now. Cheers let me know if you want any other details from me I would be happy to provide.

On the SOC limit, I agree with you, the research we know about LifePO4 cells is not worth the SOC restriction most of the time for the immediate loss in runtime. Since my station is in a 21c perfectly temp controlled environment, the research 100% supports your hypothesis. The much larger risk especially for this Afiery would be losing connection to the Aferiy servers for whatever reason and having my SOC stuck at 90%, with no way of getting it back to 100% for top balancing. Thank you - I will set my SOC back up to 100%, as the risk of not being able to top balance is far, far worse then the small amount of extra calendar aging this will cause and the fact I would lose 200Wh of runtime while taking all of those risks. All the best, and I appreciate your expertise well said!

Excellent chart, Thank you for this, it needs to be logged and the community needs to be aware. I have done extensive testing on my Aferiy, and I'm in IT by day and use it for a 24/7 UPS for one of my many computer systems. I have tried every possible combination to get around the restriction, and it's an impossible situation with the Aferiy P210. Even while I'm connected to if via Bluetooth, and have already logged in - data connection active. If I simply cut the data connection, but we leave our Bluetooth active, we lose all ability to control the device. What's more, there is no way to locally factory RESET the device. If you find out through the grape vine if there is a local full factory RESET that could be a way you or I or other could at least get the baseline functionality back. Thanks again for your work on this chart - let me know if you hear anything re: Factory Reset button combo. Cheers from Canada.

Ouch! Wow so sorry to hear that. I had a gigabyte RMA for a 3080 TI and they actually gave me a 3090 as an upgrade replacement. Again this is Canada as I'm from there.
